This is probably because of the very generous (16 byte) code alignment
that gcc enforces.  If anyone wants a local solution to this problem,
there are a set of patches in gnu/26083 that add a set of alignment
contol options for the Alpha (mirroring what's available for i386).
David O'Brien is unwilling to commit them for various reasons (which I
accept) but this functionality exists in gcc-3.
